Leona Rostenberg and Madeleine Stern have been partners in their New York antiquarian book business for almost 60 years, with Rostenberg starting the firm in 1944 and Stern joining as a partner in 1945. They specialize in early printed material, having written over 25 books and editing another 20. Several are devoted to the works of Louisa May Alcott, many of which were written pseudonymously.
